Recruiting EFC Trade/Draft Talk II with F/A rules in OP - Billings for a fourth rounder the latest rumour

[Atavistic]

Lachie Henderson has gotta be the best of the attainable key forwards. Only 25. Would ontrade Melksham
pick for him if Geelong have gone cold. Draft a young key forward to take Henderson's spot in 2-3 years.

Do it Bombers.

Would be a good stop gap for 3-5 years, you'd think, and is a decent forward.

 

[yaco55]

Just not being tag teamed by the best 2 defenders, would be great.
McCarthy could end up benefiting from it and kicking more goals than Daniher.
It's win/win.

Do you realise that McCarthy's form fell off in the second half of 2015 and he spent time in the NEAFL.

But if a club is silly enough to pay 700K.

Oh no, inconsistency from a young player
He missed 3 games for the year.
He's 20 years old and kicked 35 goals, that's 9 less than the rising star, Jesse Hogan and is 1 more than Joe Daniher kicked.
Dude is a gun.

 

[The Bomb]

I want Francis before McCarthy, just think Francis is going to be a pretty special type of player, he just brushes tackles aside like Martin.
1 on 1 he nearly always wins.

I would even trade pick 5 (if we get it) & pick 25(Melkshams) for pick 3 to make sure we get Francis and Parish.

2 guns in 1 draft is huge.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

So who are the credible posters with EFC sources around here?

 

[Howard Moon]

Pretty keen on Blake Hardwick as another avenue to goal, the midsize forward .

 

[Benny Don]

So much for Monfries wanting to stay in his home state, looks like he might be traded.

 

[Marley10]

Are you guys seriously doing this to me? McCarthy? I didn't even consider it. Now I'll be disappointed if we don't get him despite never being in the race for him. Thanks for emotionally toying with me.

You know, I wonder what these sources are. Is the 'sources' on bigfooty truly just a mate talking crap?

 

[Marley10]

Well now that the idea is in my head, we do have more to give than Fremantle does.

Plus, we seem to have a very good relationship with GWS, especially when it comes to trading. And of course McCarthy is exactly what we need.

Now, how will you convince a kid like McCarthy, who i$ a home $ick Fremantle $upporter from all report$, to come to E$$endon? Hmmm. Que$tion$ mu$t be a$ked

I knew Francis was a smart footballer but I didnt realise he was so athletically gifted as well. hes fast and super super agile, could break the official agility record. He has beaten it previously.

Can someone explain why a player like Aish does not become a de-listed free agent if Brisbane refuse to trade him to "send him into the draft"?

Is there something between a de-listing and not re-signing that means a player goes into the draft? Wasn't there a point that de-listed players became free agents?

I think it is because technically he is not de listed by the club as the club wants him to stay.

I certainly don't have an answer but could it be something to do with years spent on an AFL list?

 

[harry_caul]

I'd much rather McCarthey too, but it is far less likely than Hendo.

Also, we'd have to give up pick 4 for McCarthey would we?

We would.

 

[Marley10]

Francis and Parish would be awesome, though I think one of them will be taken by Gold Coast.

Any other option for Gold Coast to take?

 

[Marley10]

Anyone know much about Blake Hardwick? Around what pick would he go for?

Kicking 12 goals in a game and about 45 in 11 games is pretty impressive

EDIT: Is expected to go around the 40s range and is a medium forward. Kicked 45.16, which is extremely accurate. Don't know much about him, but looks like it is worth a try considering that Woosha is after increasing our scoring power.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Bingo, otherwise players could use this to become free agents whenever they wanted.

 

[Marley10]

If we can get Parish, Francis, Brown, Coghlan, Lueunberger and perhaps someone like Lovell, then that would be an amazing off season.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

I certainly don't have an answer but could it be something to do with years spent on an AFL list?

No time has nothing to do with it.

Players delisted by a club are unrestricted free agents but a player who retires or delists himself is not eligible to be a free agent

From what I've been told on here is a medium fwd in the medhurst mould. Medium lead up, strong in the air, good on the ground. Hard match up. Bags of 12 10 9 7 this year I think on the way to the leading goal kicker.

I want him.

Height 181cm. Weight 78kgs. Seems like he is almost ready to play at AFL ready with one preseason. Definitely interested.

 

[Snake Charmer]

This is exactly what I want. If we miss Lovell I'd like Aidyn Johnson. Would love Bennell and Mcarthy but neither have any real chance of happening

He made a lot of sub appearances from memory.

This is very interesting. I am not sure that the Lions can really do what has been threatened.

It's one thing to not be able to get a deal done but, to me, is something entirely different to refuse to deal. In that scenario it's only fair that the Lions de-list.

Have they refused to deal? I thought an offer was on the table? They are just refusing to trade aren't they?
